A Love Reawakened The Alpha’s Regret by Alphabetical B

62% +5 Chapter 89 Angela's POV My mouth dropped open slightly as soon as Darius made his announcement. I guess I was just as surprised as every member of the Pack. When he said he would be stepping down as the Alpha, I could hear a loud noise ring in my ears. I didn't want to believe he just said that.

Maybe it was a tactic. Maybe he was kidding. He couldn't possibly leave.

I thought he loved being an Alpha more than anything. He was made to be an Alpha. Why would he step down? Who would he step down for? At spoint, I wondered if my decision not to becthe Luna influenced his choice. It made ssense, but deep down, I knew that couldn't be the reason.

He wouldn't do that because of me.

"Did you know about this?" My mother asked.

I shook my head as words failed me. I knew nothing about this. We haven't talked to each other for the longest teven though it's just been two days. It felt as though it was an eternity. He was avoidingand I was too ashamed to show myself before him.

I thought it was better to keep being invisible, staying in the shadow for as long as he was home. I'd lied to his face that I didn't see myself spending the rest of my life with him. It was ridiculous.

"I have to go talk to him," I told my mom.

"You should," she patted my shoulder.

Reina was with her, I was sure she was in good hands. I'll pick her up later tonight so she can sleep at home. Darius had already toldhe wanted us both at the splace almost every tif possible till the entire problem with Ryker is solved.

The crowd was already reducing. People were going back to their various homes. I could see Darius standing at the front, talking to sof his people. By the tI got swallowed by the loud crowd, I couldn't see who was who not to talk of Darius.

"Angela," someone called my nand held my hand. I turned aside to see it was Halle.

She pulledout of the crowd and walkedto one of the corners. It was empty and I could see people leaving. That was when I could finally breathe.

"Thanks," I muttered.

She shrugged. "It was nothing. You're still new to things like this. Next tdon't walk forward between the crowd, just keep going straight to your left or right, and soon enough you'll be out of the crowd. It's overwhelming sometimes," I nodded. Although it's been six years since I left the pack, we barely had meetings when I was here. On days when meetings like this were called, my father would prefer for Brittany and I to stay home.

"I should leave. Thank you for your help once more," She grabbed my hand again before I could walk away.

19:12 Sat, 22 Jun RV @ Chapter 89 "Did you hear about Darius stepping down?" I nodded. "He just announced it right there in front of everyone, didn't he?" "Did you know about this before?" I frowned. What was with the interrogation? "What difference would it make if I knew?" "You can make him change his mind," I folded my hand against my chest.

Raising an eyebrow, I asked. "Change his mind?" "Yes. He can't just step down and leave the pack like that,” "Y'all hated him. If I could remember, twenty minutes ago, you didn't want him to be the alpha of this pack," 62% She smiled. "Not twenty minutes ago, Angela. My opinion about Darius has changed for a while. I understand he's a terrible person, we both know that but he's good for this pack. He's a good Alpha who puts his people first and we're learning to trust him," I disagreed.

+5 "No! You don't trust him at all. Y'all are scared shitless of Ryker and you all know the only person that can help get rid of Ryker is Darius. Keep your fake love to yourself," "Angela," "No! Don't say a single word more, Halle. You've said enough before and more than enough today. Charles would be a better Alpha, wouldn't he?" I asked and she couldn't givea response.

I walked away from her to the podium and realized Darius wasn't there. I asked one of his warriors who toldDarius had gone back home.

By the tI arrived home, he wasn't there either. I decided to stay at hand wait for him, instead of looking around. I wished I could use the mind link like every other werewolf. It would've made it easier forto reach out to him but I couldn't.

When Darius finally cback two hours later, Reina was in his arms, asleep. He locked the front door behind him without acknowledging me. I didn't say a word to him either but I followed him silently to Reina's room. I stood outside while he helped her get settled into bed.

Once he was done, he walked out, locked her door, and began walking away. I followed him until he got to his study.

"I waited for you," I announced.

"I took Reina for ice cream like I promised earlier," I nodded.

I wanted to complain about that. She shouldn't be taking ice cream at this tof the night but that could still wait for another day.

19.12 Chapter 89 Sat, 22 J "Okay, I wanted to talk to you about your announcement," "Which one?" 62% His question maderethink everything he said tonight. When he announced he wouldn't be punishing the members of the Resistance group in a barbaric manner because of someone's advice, a smile appeared on my face. I was proud he was taking my advice into consideration.

"About you stepping down after Ryker leaves the pack alone," "What about it?" "What's happening, Darius? You're keepingin the dark and I know something's is wrong," "Nothing is wrong, Angela. Get ssleep," 7 I suddenly beclight-headed and I couldn't believe he just calledAngela.

"Angela..." He looked up atfor a few seconds in silence before looking away.

"Yes. Get ssleep,"

I scoffed. I was so close to tears. My feet becstuck to the ground and I suddenly had a blurry vision because of the tears that pooled in my eyes.

"You just calledAngela and you wantto believe that nothing's wrong," "I can't deal with your whining tonight. I have a lot to think about and this... this... is not going to make work easy for me," "What do you wantto do? I'll do anything to help you," "Two days ago, you refused to do anything to help me,"

I shook my head. "I didn't say I wouldn't help you, Darius. I said not to put a label on it. I don't have to Ε becthe Luna before I can help you," He cleared his throat. "Trust me, the best help you can render right now is to leavealone," I moved closer to him but Darius moved back. He seriously moved away from me. He wasn't even looking at me.

"Is my sin that terrible? You're going to keep ignoringbecause I said I don't want to becyour Luna. Is that it?" "Are you trying to gaslight me?" "What?" "You toldyou don't see yourself spending the rest of your life withand you wantto stay happy with that," "Darius," 19:12 Sat, 22 Jun RV @ Chapter 89 62%

"The world doesn't fucking revolve around you, Angela. If you aren't so selfish and self-centered, you would realize that your actions fucking hurt others too. If it was six years ago, if it was now, it still FUCKING HURTS. You don't get to walk all over people's feelings and act as if nothing happened and expect us to act as if X
